Change is all around us. The stock market is no longer giving those once steady returns. Jobs are hard to find. In the church some great victories have been won, but now we are facing new questions. Whenever the world shakes around us, is there anything more important to do than refocus on the unchanging Jesus? This book helps you to do just that…and find the focus in your life as well.
In No One Like Him, Thomas Jones stays close to the Bible and lets Jesus speak for himself. The Jesus that emerges in the primary sources (the four Gospels) is a man who is supremely confident about who he is and what he wants to accomplish, but at the same time has a radical humility both toward God and toward men.
He is a man with a message that sometimes sounds too good to be true and at other times sounds too hard for one to possibly accept. He is the one who preaches what Bonhoeffer called "costly grace." His radical call to commitment can only be accepted in the context of what the author calls "God's extravagant generosity."
The Jesus he writes about is both more generous and more challenging than most people think. Jones unveils Jesus to us in such a way as to inspire us to hunger and desire to intimately know him, the Christ. But if you think you have this all down, be prepared for a few surprises! Appropriate as an introduction to those seeking to know more about Jesus as well as those who have "known him" for years. Convincing and helpful without being preachy and unrelatable
